Title: Volunteer Meeting
Location: 900 Roswell Street, Marietta, GA (Old Chevy car dealership building to the east of Roswell St. Baptist Church)
Description: Panel Discussion: “Repeal of the 17th Amendment” featuring Patti Gettinger, Mark Lane, and Richard Gruetter
This weeks meeting will feature a panel discussion by two Georgia Tea Party board members, Patti Gettinger and Mark Lane, and our resident Constitutional scholar, Richard Gruetter.
If you are not familiar with the 17th Amendment, here’s a brief overview. Under Article 1 Section 3 of the Constitution, “The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, [chosen by the Legislature thereof] for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote…”. The founders intent was for the State’s to have a check on the power of the Federal government. The 17th Amendment ratified in 1913, provided for the direct popular election of Senators by the citizens of each respective state. Interestingly, Georgia did not ratify the amendment. For a detailed history visit Wikipedia. This promises to be a very lively discussion as each have been researching and preparing to argue the pros and cons of repealing the 17th Amendment to the Constitution.

Net Neutrality, SOPA and PIPA Legislation
Published January 24, 2012 |
The Georgia Tea Party had a lively discussion about this pending legislation in the House and Senate. Check out this report from David Huffman, a GTP volunteer, that highlights the dangers and technical difficulties with this legislation. Because of the outcry from citizens and blackouts from sites like Wikipedia and Google, the Congress has stalled this legislation. But don’t think that it is going away.
